General Skilled Immigration Visa - Step By Step Process

aceyunahelajacq · November 2014

Hi Good day! Meron po ba dito GSM Visa applicant na REE pero ang job experience ay Ship's Electrician? I have read different threads/comments and it leads me nowhere. Nakapag check na po ako ng suitable job regarding sa job expertise ko and according to ANZSCO CODE it's 341111 Electrician(General) and the assessing authority is TRA. Naguguluhan ako kung paano ako magsisimula, kung may applicant sana dito na katulad or alam kung paano ang procedure. Thanks in advance.

have a look at the tasks ng systems analyst. my sister managed to successfully apply, same as you, software tester din sia. just select tasks under systems analyst na ginagaw mo din sa work mo then focus on those tasks and dont mention anything about your software tester tasks.

thanks for your helpful advice @Xiaomau82! really appreciate it. as of now i'm starting to gather all necessary documents and will certainly try your advice when everything is sorted out.

Hello po sa lahat

First time ko po mag post.
I need help lang po about something.
Please share your inputs.

My wife is currently studying BS Management. She's got about 1 year more to finish.
Gusto po niya makapag work sa Australia.
Bale po malapit na siya mag OJT, and eventually mag work.

Tumingin po kami sa Skilled Occupations List (SOL) at di po namin malaman kung alin po ang pupwede yung kurso niya.

Meaning po, pag naka-graduate na siya, kung ano pong position ang dapat niyang applyan dito sa Pinas para makakuha ng 3 year experience, na may kinalaman sa Occupation na a-applyan niya sa Australia.

Pasensya na po kung masyadong newbie ang tanong ko.
Every input will be highly appreciated po!

Thanks ni Advance

Fernan

Ikaw ba graduate na at nakapag trabaho na? Malabo ata kung maging dependent kayo sa misis mo. Maybe ikaw na lang mag apply for visa?

FernanAndJoanForever · December 2014

Hindi po eh.

Pero posible kaya na ma-approve ang Visa niya in case after niya grumaduate, magkaroon siya ng 3 year experience. Pero anong job po kaya dapat niyang kunin dito sa Pinas?

Unfortunately mate it will be hard to say as skilled occupation may change year after year... In 3 years, who knows what will be the needed qualification to apply as migrant in Australia.

The important thing right now is for your wife to graduate... And plan from thereon; don't put all your eggs in one basket whereby you have this mindset na everything is defined (as far as both of you are concerned) na pupunta ka sa Australia after x number of years para di ka ma disappoint.

OK got it.

Also, not to discourage but you also have to consider that skilled migration is quite costly, so plan it carefully. Maswerte if ma-hire from abroad but that is very rare these days and usually you have to be extremely specialised in your profession in order for that to happen.

I see. I appreciate every info you shared mate. Those were exactly the answers I needed.

Question lang po about sa application. Dineclare ko kasi na:

Have any of the applicants lived in a country other than the primary applicant's usual country of residence? = No

Pero nagfill-up kasi ako ng form 80 tapos meron dun overseas travels. Meron kasi akong 5 entries na dineclare as work, pero ang pinakamatagal namang stay is wala pang 3 months.

1. Dapat ba dineclare ko itong YES? Ang reason for travel is business trip. Nalagay kong work sa form 80.
2. Pwede ba irevise ang form 80 once uploaded na?

Thanks

gano katagal po ba kayo nag stay sa ibang country? usually if its more than 12 months cummulative un ang required ideclare.

kisses1417 · December 2014

Nakita ko sa anzco, yung medrep pwede sa ACT at South Australia pero my sa Canberra dapat may close family dun or dapat may job offer, sa South Australia naman nakalagay special conditions apply. Dapat naging student ka sa South Australia. Bakit ganun? Huhu so pag nagpa assess po ba ako sa January sa vetasses its gonna be useless or maaadvise nyo pa din na pa assess ako? Salamat po sa sasagot

bookworm · December 2014

@kisses1417 from my experience, magpa assess ka whether there is a state that will sponsor your skill or not.
I had my skills assessed more than 2 years ago but was not on the list. So I waited about 2 years. When I saw that my skill was open last year, because I already had that document, I was able to file for state sponsorship with ACT within a month.
While waiting for sponsorship, they closed and removed my skill.
If I had had to wait start my skill assessment done, I would not have been able to file, nor would I have my visa now

Ang pagkakaalam ko din, one year. Kung form 80 yan, ok lang, ilagay mo lang cya sa overseas travels. Business trip naman nilagay mo so ok lang.

kisses1417 · December 2014

Hi bookworm! Thanks for your reply! Nabuhayan ako dun ah. Ano palang occupation mo? Kapag ba nagpa assess ako, wala naman validity yun? So every year pwede ako maghintay tapos just incase na pwede, submit agad ng EOI incase meron? Dapat lang may IELTS ako?

kisses1417 · December 2014

@bookworm, kahit po may mga conditions apply sila, possible ba na mabago yun? Or possible ba na magkaopening din sa ibang territory? Basta nasa CSOL ba i should be confident na? Hindi ko makalimutan ang australia, i have been to sydney for 15 daysa nd fell inlove with it. Been praying and asking for God's guidance.

gidiyap · December 2014

@kisses1417 , ang alam ko ang assesment has a validity.. for ACS 3 years. not sure with VETASSES.. baka same lang din siguro. tapos for IELTS 2 years ang validity.

bookworm · December 2014

@kisses1417 @gidiyap sa vetassess, 2 years. In my case, muntik cya mag expire, so I applied for reissue, which was about 100AUD, mura lang.
Yes, there might be a chance that it might change, or there might be a state that will sponsor your skill. In my case, I almost ignored ACT. I wish I had seen ANZSCOsearch earlier. Sobrang helpful nung site na yun

And not necessarily asa CSOL, magkaka state na mag sponsor. Technical writer ako and that skill has been in that list forever! hehe.
Ikaw ba, ano?

Megger · December 2014

Hello sa lahat. Meron ba dito na Electrical Technician ang chosen profession? Ano chances to get a job in OZ? TIA sa magrereply.

kisses1417 · December 2014

Thank youn@gidiyap

@bookworm: sales representative ( pharmaceutical products) . 6 years experience po in a multinational company here. Nung tinype ko yung code sa anzcosearch, act at south australia lang tappos may nga conditions pa. Sana magkaroon naman ng skills lng ang need hindi yung may close familyy ties pa. Sister ko nasa sydney pero student. Sana magka chance din ako

lemonsweater · December 2014

finally submitted my EOI last Monday. I'm hoping to receive an invite the soonest

Stoked0419 · December 2014

@lemonsweater, hello po. Ano po anzsco code nyo?

anne9 · December 2014

Hi guys! Question about the points system...May corresponding points ba ang Skills Assessment or requirement lang talaga sya?

Tapos dun sa "Qualifications" part, may kailangan ba na documents para mag claim ng points aside from transcript? Do they recognise certain colleges in the Phils lang?

Thanks so much!

imeetr · December 2014

@anne9 hello, yes your Skills Assessment Result should contain the following which will be the bases of claiming points in your EOI: usually if your school is under group 1, it is consider as comparable to an Aus graduate.

a. Educational Qualification: whether it is comparable to AU degree (15pts) or diploma (10pts)
b. Number of years of work experience assessed as relevant to your nominated occupation.

Kindly read all the information provided on this page:

Please find the list of schools here (although this is not updated, but at least you'll have an idea how your school rank.) http://pinoyau.info/plugin/page/accredited-schools

@TasBurrfoot
Would like to ask your help po.
I am submitting my application for migration assessment with CPAA this January.
Ask ko lang sana if may checklist ka po ng documents na ni-submit niyo (or ng wife niyo) sa CPAA. For cross-checking lang po sana with the documents that I have been preparing.

Thanks!

Hello @ArJayGdlS - it has been more than 2 years so I am not sure it is still current but as far as I can remember:

(1) IELTS result
(2) Fill out sheet from CPAA
(3) Transcript, Syllabus and Diploma
(4) CPA Philippines Cert - not really necessary but we include it
(5) Certificate of Employment

All the best!
